I may not have been all there this morning when I wrote this response. Here's 
what will be happening:

     1) The "release" branch will be renamed "2.65.0"
     2) The next tag will be "v2.65.0-b2"
     3) The beta 1 tag will NOT be renamed.

The one question I have remaining is: Are there any issues with removing the 
leading zero from the
minor release number? Should it be 2.065.0 instead?

Hopefully, with the answer to the previous question, this puts an end to all 
discussions pertaining
to branching, tags, and naming contentions so we can focus on the things that 
really matter.

Why not call the branch 2.065, like it was for a while and similar to every other branch and build number we've used forever? It shouldn't contain the trailing .0 as the branch is for the entire 2.065 series, not just one build. I'm less concerned with the leading 0 in the second tier, though that naming scheme has been used for the entire life of the D project and would only cause problems if we somehow get more than 999 releases. I see no reason to change it.
